★★★★★ 5.0 Natalie B · Oct 2025

It was a very laid back atmosphere, everyone showing up is either getting off work or class, but you didn't feel rushed even though you can tell there was a rush coming in. The food was amazing we ordered the bone marrow which was spectacular probably one our favorite dishes that we ordered we also had the mushroom risotto it was cooked perfectly har plenty of flavor I add some fried chicken and that had a nice crunch, but what I would definitely come back for without skipping a beat would be the bananas foster bread pudding I wish I could have that every day I thought it was going to be overwhelming sweet but it was well balanced. The server was amazing as well I wish I could remember her name. Overall would definitely come back.

I've had Pullman several times, both in person and via delivery. The food has been inconsistent - I order the breakfast tacos every time, because when they are good they are SO good, but sometimes they are...not so good. Today I got the breakfast tacos by way of delivery, and I added avocado for an additional $1.85. The avocado was overripe; black, extra mushy, and unappealing. I am sad for that poor avocado. I couldn't help but also notice the "scrambled eggs" were not actually scrambled, which was an interesting choice but certainly not a huge deal. Now, flip side, the bananas foster never disappoints and I highly recommend! Giving service and atmosphere 5 stars as a courtesy as I did not go in person.

Great food and atmosphere! Staff friendly and helpful. Chef came out and asked if we enjoyed our meals and yes we did.

**Back again on Saturday, Nov 22nd, and everything was super! My son & I tried a few different things this time. He ordered the Duck Confit and absolutely loved it. We also got the Fingerling Potatoes, the Beet Salad, and the Mo Burger. I've added pictures of the newest items to my previous pictures. I didn't think I liked beets until I had the salad. Wow! It's fabulous! I also have to give a "shout out" to Eric! He is fantastic! We could not have had better service. Seriously. He's perfect! This was the second time he helped us and I can't imagine anyone being better. Thank you for everything!! *PREVIOUS REVIEW*-- Had a delicious meal here! We started with Roasted Marrow Bones and Kitchen Fries for apps. So delicious. You could get full just on those. Then we ordered the Croque Madame an

Wonderful experience at Pullman’s. Everyone was very kind and friendly, and the service was outstanding. We had the potstickers, the Mo burger, the risotto, and their banana foster bread pudding. We got a bit excited and didn’t manage to catch photos of the main courses before diving into them; compliments to the chef! Also highly recommend the bread pudding which was delightfully indulgent. Will definitely be back again and 10/10 would recommend!
